Red Leaf Tea Green Rooibos

Red Leaf Tea White Ginger Orange Peach

9/10 — 1 review

Laura's review:"While many Ginger Peach or Ginger Orange blends are heavy on the fruit and light on the ginger, this one has a more pronounced ginger flavor. The fruits are the backdrop for the ginger, and the white tea holds its own and is not overpowered."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Pink Sonoma

8.8/10 — 1 review

Laura's review:"While I cannot say that this tastes strongly like wine, it does leave a wine-like aftertaste in your mouth at certain temperatures. This truly is an elegant and delicious cup that I suspect that wine lovers and tea lovers alike would enjoy.

Red Leaf Tea First Love

Vanessa's review:"Visually, I am not sure you can get a more attractive blend, as the large white tea leaves and the pale pink rose petals really are a stunning display. The tea also has a wonderful aroma that is surprisingly sweet despite the floral overtones."Read review »

9/10

Red Leaf Tea Black Matcha - Organic

Jamie's review:"Elements that I tend to appreciate in a yunnan tea - a husky, sweet, sort of smoky and sort of caramel-y flavor - come through beautifully. And at the same time, the curiously viscous, bittersweet creaminess of matcha come through as well. "Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Irish Breakfast Xtra Fancy

8.5/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"This tea offers a nice blend of different black tea flavor characteristics and can be consumed with or without add-ins; in all, a delicious cup that is an ideal breakfast tea."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Kukicha Twig

Christine's review:"Has a nutty flavor, as Red Leaf's site suggests, and has absolutely no bitterness that I could detect, which is always a plus if you really don't like bitter."Read review »

8/10

Red Leaf Tea Citrus Earl Grey

8/10 — 1 review

Geoff's review:" Along with the expected dryness, somewhat imparted by the rind-scenting, was a smooth beverage with a malty character."Read review »

8/10

Red Leaf Tea Lucuma Matcha

8/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"a quality matcha flavor with just a hint of extra sweetness; what I particularly enjoyed is the creamy mouth feel of this tea"Read review »

8/10

Red Leaf Tea Belgium Chocolate Matcha

8/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"The flavor of this tea is pretty incredible; despite the mossy green color, it is easy to mistake this beverage as a sweet and calorie-laden hot chocolate."Read review »

8/10

Red Leaf Tea Bee Pollen Matcha

8/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"this tea delivers a solid matcha flavor- it is certainly green in nature but the sweetness is what is most easily noticed"Read review »

8/10

Red Leaf Tea Sicilian Vespers

8/10 — 1 review

Laura's review:"Like Pink Sonoma, this offers a respectable white tea base, a delicious grapey flavor profile, some notes of white wine and a floral finish. I guess I would recommend picking your favorite floral combination in order to decide which blend should end up in your shopping cart."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Pinhead Gunpowder

7.5/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"I found the flavor to be very mellow by green tea standards, although the tea was certainly flavorful enough to be satisfying. There was an interesting melon-esque sweetness to this tea. "Read review »

7.5/10

Red Leaf Tea Double-Smoked Tea

7.5/10 — 2 reviews

Chelsy's review:"I can find but one flaw with this tea, and that is never enough to avoid such a potent and delicious smelling smoked tea. "Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Cherry Matcha - Organic

7.5/10 — 1 review

Jamie's review:"The bittersweetness of the matcha is a unique flavor, and the sour sweetness of the tart cherry is also unique. Combined with a little sweetener, both of these flavors unite and offer something very special!"Read review »

7.5/10

Red Leaf Tea Mu Tea #16

Christine's review:"The most unique characteristic of this tea, however, is the smooth and sweet aftertaste left in the back of your mouth and throat after swallowing. It's entirely unexpected, but offers a wonderful contrast to the other flavors of the tea."Read review »

9/10

Red Leaf Tea Ginger Matcha - Organic

7.5/10 — 1 review

Erika's review:"There was no waiting for the flavor to hit and no vague ideas of what could have been, just a nice gingery undertone."Read review »

7.5/10

Red Leaf Tea Golden Nepal

7.3/10 — 2 reviews

Brad's review:"The flavor is quiet and polished, evolving between the start and finish. The texture is thin but cool; this one brings sparks with it."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Hibiscus Mint

7.3/10 — 2 reviews

Christine's review:"If you like hibiscus, mint, or anything sweet, this should be a must-try. I personally would have liked a bit more mint, but if you like your mint mellow, you'll love this one."Read review »

7/10

Jamie's review:"This tea would be fabulous iced, perhaps even better than hot, though I do love hibiscus in a hot tea. The mint flavor is not overwhelming, the hibiscus definitely steals the show."Read review »

7.5/10

Red Leaf Tea Pu-Erh Matcha – Organic

7.3/10 — 2 reviews

Jamie's review:"While the idea of mixing two distinct teas that have histories and a solid track record in their own right seems a little odd to me still, I've got to admit that this is a great tasting pairing."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Kalahari

Red Leaf Tea Golden Star

7/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"This is a mild and unassuming green tea with a unique presentation. The grain-like component that came through in the aroma was also present, and most prominent, in the flavor as well. "Read review »

7/10

Red Leaf Tea Red Matcha

7/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"It was its novelty and uniqueness that attracted me to this tea, but since in the end it tasted just like standard rooibos tea, I can't say that this struck me as a "must-have" tea."Read review »

7/10

Red Leaf Tea Prosperity Cube Pu-erh

7/10 — 1 review

Steven's review:"Pu-erh is really not like any other type of tea, and it is wonderful for people who, like me, love exotic scents and complex, layered flavors."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Pomegranate Matcha – Organic

Red Leaf Tea Alfalfa Mint

7/10 — 3 reviews

Joe's review:"I’m sorry to say it and 118 other reviews on this site disagree, but I think all mint tisanes taste about the same.
"Read review »

6/10

Vanessa's review:"This tea tastes like mint tea that has deviated ever so slightly from what mint tea is supposed to taste like. The mintiness greets you at the beginning of the sip, but in the aftertaste is the unmistakable alfalfa flavor, which is fairly bitter, considerably earthy, yet not altogether unappealing. "Read review »

Laura's review:"I found the white tea base to be better than many out there that accompany flavored blends and it produced a good cup."Read review »

7.5/10

Red Leaf Tea Organic Pure Jasmine Matcha

7/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"A pretty unique novelty tea, although even with the fun flavor added, I don't think it is among the best matcha I have had. "Read review »

7/10

Red Leaf Tea African Summer

6.8/10 — 4 reviews

Vanessa's review:"This tea had a mild spiciness that was characterized predominantly by peppery and citrusy notes; the flavor came across as fresh, crisp, and uplifting."Read review »

8.3/10

Geoff's review:"Taste-wise, I would almost say that the eucalyptus and lemon myrtle took point. Yes, I do know what a eucalyptus leaf tastes like."Read review »

7.5/10

Christine's review:"Bottom Line: Because I don't think I've said it enough, this isn't a bad tea, it just doesn't have the complexity that I've come to associate with Red Leaf."Read review »

6/10

Jamie's review:"While this cup was tasty and fairly naturally sweet, it didn't have a lot of body to it, was mostly lemongrass in its tastes and nothing about it really jumped out to claim my taste attention."Read review »

5.5/10

Red Leaf Tea Assam Jungle Cabernet

6.8/10 — 2 reviews

Scott's review:"A blend of Assam and "Cabernet" wine that sounds like it would be great in theory but doesn't work in the cup."Read review »

5.3/10

Laura's review:"The Assam provides a rich, full-bodied backdrop for the flavor profile. The flavor profile has nuances of red wine, cinnamon and even notes of a dark semi-sweet chocolate."Read review »

8.25/10

Red Leaf Tea Rooibos Earl Grey

6.8/10 — 3 reviews

Raven's review:"With an awakening aroma as bright as the blaze of the brew, the medley of maple-like rooibos and bergamot flavours seem to transform into some new sweet mix of citrus. "Read review »

Sophie's review:"There maybe an ever-so-subtle hint of bergamot in the aftertaste, however this is not the inspired take on a traditional Earl Grey, not even for those who like a mild bergamot flavour."Read review »

4.2/10

Red Leaf Tea Cherry Tea

Laura's review:"The flavor has a natural sweetness to it that reminds me a bit of cherry juice. Natural cherry juice is a bit tart in nature and this is not a bad version of that if you are interested in something less intense. "Read review »

7.25/10

Vanessa's review:"The bottom line: This is a really sweet and tangy tea with a strong cherry flavor. Cherry lovers should definitely give this one a try; those that don't love cherries may find this to be a bit overwhelming. "Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Rooibos Paradise

6.8/10 — 1 review

Laura's review:"For some reason, I find myself feeling that the rooibos kind of dominated the mango and passionfruit a bit and I think that this may be better paired with a different tea base."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Red Sunset

Dan's review:"This is an exotic tea with a lot of character -- once you overcome the overpowering rose petal flavor and aroma. The second cup is really where it shines."Read review »

7.0/10

Numi's review:"There is a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste that could be enhanced with honey (and possibly fantastic with the addition of a sweet fruit and honey), but it doesn't seem to be able to follow through on its own."Read review »

7/10

Red Leaf Tea Black Earl Grey

6.6/10 — 1 review

Raven's review:"Ample and peppy, the bergamot floral completely infuses each sip, supported by a light dryness and oddly not much oomph from the black tea. "Read review »

Christine's review:"The brewed cup smells like a decadent coffee cake, and the taste falls into the same category. It does have a bit a savory flavor alongside the sweetness, but it compliments it surprisingly well."Read review »

7.5/10

Red Leaf Tea Wild Monkey Marsala

Laura's review:"This is very cinnamony and the addition of that wine DOES, in fact, create a very peppery effect on the finish and in the aftertaste. It is so peppery that I actually checked my sample package several times looking for bits of black pepper, but found none. It reminds me of that peppery spiciness that you often find with Yunnans, but much more intense."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Pomegranate Matcha

Red Leaf Tea Black Night

6/10 — 2 reviews

Kari's review:"It takes time to really start to dislike this tea - but I got there. It started out good then something happened - I then tasted a weird additive."Read review »

4/10

Vanessa's review:"The flavor of this tea lingers on the palette long after the the tea is swallowed. The flavor is robust and filling, and really much heartier than any other unflavored black tea that I have had."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Stevia Matcha - Organic

Red Leaf Tea Passionfruit Wulong

6/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"The tea has a strong, and somewhat bitter flavor, which is pretty true to what one would expect from passionfruit. However, whereas passionfruit can often be overwhelmingly strong, this tea was actually relatively mild (by passionfruit standards). "Read review »

6/10

Red Leaf Tea Licorice Mint

6/10 — 2 reviews

Dan's review:"Rather than working well together, the 3 flavors here (licorice, peppermint and cloves) almost seem to have battled each other into submission. They sounded like an absolute winner together, but they have fallen absolutely flat."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Ceylon

6/10 — 1 review

Vanessa's review:"Truthfully, this tea was as close to Lipton or Tetley as one can get without setting foot in a grocery store. While I didn't hate this tea, I must express disappointment, as I was hoping for something with a little more character. "Read review »

6/10

Red Leaf Tea Immortalitea

6/10 — 1 review

Laura's review:" I found this particular pairing of herbs to be somewhat unique as I have not come across them together in any other teas, but they do not seem to add much flavor to the cup. I would, however, say that I feel that they somehow contributed to this blend being refreshing."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Sechung Oolong

Brad's review:" I enjoyed this thoroughly, but the flavor is slight. I would recommend this for people who value texture and emotion over flavor."Read review »

7/10

Red Leaf Tea Gold Rush

5.8/10 — 2 reviews

Vanessa's review:"I couldn't actually detect much in the way of mango, and surprisingly it was really challenging to find the passionfruit flavor as well. This tea's primary flavor was of the tea base itself, which was a sturdy and stout brew, and not one I am sure I was completely loving."Read review »

5/10

Dan's review:"While enjoyable, the overall flavors of this blend were a bit too weak for my liking. However, stronger flavors will reveal a tastier end product."Read review »

6.5/10

Red Leaf Tea Chamomint

5.3/10 — 2 reviews

Vanessa's review:"Overwhelmingly, the peppermint takes center stage in the aroma; in the flavor department, however, both ingredients seem to be happy to share the limelight. "Read review »

6/10

Jamie's review:"Instead of the best of both herbal worlds, what my cup yielded was a muddy intermingling of taste (and color even!) which socked me with a too tall mug of the herbal blahs."Read review »

Red Leaf White Blossom Earl Grey

Red Leaf Tea Herbal Jahva

4/10 — 1 review

Laura's review:"This tea is an interesting concept that I would like to see tweaked so that it is a little less roasted and bitter. I found myself getting a little nauseated by the overly roasted, bitter, syrupy sweet taste of this and couldn't finish my cup."Read review »

Red Leaf Tea Organic Lemon Matcha

Vanessa's review:"The matcha over-powered the lemon flavor, which was really just a faint component of this tea. I would have appreciated a much greater lemon contribution."Read review »

6/10

Red Leaf Tea Silver Star

3.5/10 — 2 reviews

Joe's review:"I guess I can sum up my review by saying I did not finish this tea. Its thin body had a combination bitter, tart and medicinal tang."Read review »

3/10

Vanessa's review:"I do wish to point out that my low rating is not indicative of the quality of the tea, but rather my personal opinion of the tea's flavor. I imagine that some people may actually find this flavor profile to be quite intriguing; I just wasn't one of those people."Read review »
